ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

1.Acoustic Array Mapping using B&K Planar Wheel Array

Performed Sound Intensity Mapping of a motor engine fan. Noise map was created using GRAS sound intensity probe with LMS TEST.LAB and with a planar wheel array using PULSE Beamforming software and finally its results were analyzed. Determined the dominant region and the frequency ranges of noise.

2.Random Incident Absorption Co-efficient using Alpha Cabin and Impedance tube method

Experimentally measured the absorption coefficient of a material for random incidence of sound with the help of alpha cabin. Acoustic materials like yellow foam, white felt & black felt are used. Absorption coefficient of the same materials when hit by a normal incidence wave of sound, is also calculated with the help of Impedance tube and microphones. Pulse 20.0 software is used for determining the absorption co-efficient. Both the results are compared and analyzed.

3.Reverberation Time comparison for two cars and determining absorptive coefficient

Experimentally calculated the RT60 for Ford Escape and Acura, analyzed the sound decay curve by placing absorption material and reflective material in vehicles. Calculated Reverberation time for both vehicles and compared the results. The entire experiment was performed in an anechoic chamber. The sound decay curves and the reverberation time were obtained in PULSE software.

4.Dynamic Acoustic Analysis on an Expansion Muffler with Tail Pipe discontinuity

Muffler geometry was analyzed and designed based on the engineering drawing using CATIA software and imported into the ANSYS Workbench Interface for performing Acoustic Analysis. Ansys simulation for both muffler and muffler with baffle helped Gaining better understanding of Transmission Loss of Exhaust Muffler.

5.Acoustical Modes of an Enclosure Cabin

Calculation of resonant nodes, mode shape pressure plots by performing ANSYS acoustic analysis on an enclosed cabin and comparing the results with the analytical results.

6.Determination of Tip Deflection and Maximum Stress of a Steering Column Support Beam using HyperMesh

Conducted meshing and analysis on steering column support beam by representing it with 1D and 2D elements. Determined the maximum deflection and stress on the beam by applying boundary conditions. Compared analysis results for conditions with Seam Weld, Spot Weld and No Weld.

7.Modeling and Simulation of Magneto Rheological Damper using Matlab-Simulink

Modeled several parametric models of MR Damper in Matlab Simulink and obtained results on displacement vs time, force vs velocity, force vs displacement and compared the results and concluded Spencer model is providing good damping when compared to other models.
